Product Description

Fantasy on Nassau (2004) for organ and four-part band was written for and is dedicated to Wayne Leupold and Kernersville Moravian Church, Kernersville, NC.

The work is based on the Moravian chorale tune NASSAU. The opening section of the work is slow and mystical: the band plays the first few notes of the chorale and the organ emerges from the chords with harmonic commentary.

In the next section the organ and the band present the tune antiphonally because the organ emerges with a triplet figuration. This next development section builds to a climax. The band then plays the chorale tune all the way through for the first time with an organ descant.

The final section recalls the opening material and the work ends in tranquillity
The disposition and instrument assignments for the parts is left at the conductors discretion. Though conceived originally for the Moravian church bands of the American South, the work may be played by any sort of band (including concert band) or combination of brass or wind instruments.
